Testing & Security

Mobile application testing is comparable to Software application testing, but has its own challenges. We follow a Mobility Specific Testing Approach to deliver a bug-free mobile application to a client.

We test the mobile application for its functionality, usability and consistency. We perform the following types of testing on mobile applications:

Testing on variety of mobile devices and platforms/OS – Checks for mobile application’s compatibility on variety of mobile devices, platforms/OS

Testing on different mobile networks – Checks for the functioning of the mobile application on GSM and CDMA providers

Certification testing – To make application adhere to the guidelines set by the certification authority

During the development phase, the developed mobile applications are first tested on the emulators and later tested on real mobile devices. Emulators are electronic devices that can imitate other device functionalities. The following are some of the emulators used for different mobile operating systems:

Google Android Emulator

The Google Android Emulator can be downloaded without requiring the complete installation of Android SDK. The emulator can run on Windows computer and the applications developed for Android can be tested for quality.

Official Android SDK Emulator

The Android SDK Emulator is equivalent to an Android device but cannot be used to make calls. It allows to develop and test Android applications.

iPhone

The emulator gives a pixel-accurate web browsing environment and it is powered by Safari. It can be used while developing applications for the iPhone

BlackBerry Simulator

The BlackBerry device simulator imitates the BlackBerry functionalities liked software functionalities, different screen displays, and keyboard functionalities, and allows to test the developed applications for quality.
